Maybe it's how long it's been in development, maybe it's how many times that they've changed direction, or maybe it's just that Ubisoft just put so much garbage in their games, but I predict that this game is going to be a trainwreck.

I was intrigued when they first announced it, but now I'm just so fucking sick of Ubisoft and their bullshit that I'm now just curious to see just how much of a mess it turns out to be.

It’s literally sunk cost fallacy, they wasted so much money for this game, but always spent more instead of putting it in a drawer. Nobody cares about pirates anymore, and lot of ppl are tired of the live service games. Add to this that the Black Flag remake is in the works, so not many will have the urge to buy the game, and it will fail spectacularly.

You mean when it was a game and not a shitty live service treadmill?

I'm going to keep eating the popcorn I got out for Suicide Squad.

Finished the campaign before the bucket, eh?

Oh, I don't intend to play either game. I just enjoy watching games that are bad for the industry crash and burn in the market.
